For me this was the case more than once. Iirc there was also this option in BIOS which was something along the lines of "after bad shutdown, reboot automatically".
I do remember ASUS A7V133 and A7V having this issue, but I seen it happen quite frequently when testing out 'new' boards on my testbench. I actually started making it a habit to keep one hand on the power switch of the PSU, just in case something were to go wrong.
Most testing was done years ago though and in multiple different places with many different boards of all kinds. Might also be an empty or missing battery. I was never really worried about this though, provided the board worked flawlessly when having build a system around it.
